"Question: On the Meguiars NextGen 2.0 did you use the paste or spray? I use both, but for different applications."
Mines a liquid wax.
I'll have to try that tire shine. I have been using armorall extreme tire shine gel with great results but failed to apply any before the photo shoot.
So I was talking to my new neighbor yesterday, during the conversation he said, "is that vette yours" so naturally after hours of labor I invited him over for a viewing. BTW it's hot as can be in FL right now you don't even stand outside without breaking a sweat. So after a couple of minutes he states, I'm dripping all over you car and it's not sweat, it's drool. I take that as a complement of a job well done.

Be prepared for more compliments.
Enjoy your C7 and how beautiful it looks. So many other C7 owners should do the same as you did. They would be very happy campers for sure.
It takes time to complete the process, but it is so well worth it.
Enjoy.

I can clearly see I was wrong.
Thanks again for the help.

Why don't you google it?
It's a artificial clay....much easier, you want the fine one.....
and clay/nano is a part of the secret to detailing, the main part of the secret is fine polish like Meg's 205 with an orbital.

Once you use a clay bar, you need to toss it out.
While the nano skin process is relaitively new, I still perfer the clay bar myself.
Both process of the nano skin or clay bar needs a lubricant. You do not use these dry on the paint. As a low price lubricant I use a 1 quart spray bottle with about 8-10 drops of Dawn dishwashing detergent.
There are several types of nano skin sponges, mitts, pads. Here's a few.
I find the sponge works very good. All available at Amazon.
Hopefully this info helps you and others. As Glen e has stated the way to excellent results, and I totally agree, is make sure the cars paint is properly cleaned before applying any paint sealant, paint coating, or even a wax product whether real or synthetic.
The Meguair's 205 is an excellent product as Glen e suggests. I echo his suggestion.

I used the Black Label Surface Cleansing Polish before the Pinnacle Black Label Diamond Surface Coating as that's what they recommended and didn't want to mess up the process.

You did GREAT and the results certainly show that.
Awesome detail work, Cheapthrills.
As long as you used a prep polish of surface polish you are fine. Good to use the matching Pinnacle product line of detail products.
You may want to consider a can of Pinnacle Souverän Carnauba Paste Wax once the Meguiar's NXT Gen 2.0 wores off the paint surface.
One can will do many repeated wax applications. Your so close to Stuart, Fl you can make the drive to Autogeek to pick it up. Nice drive up north and no shipping fees.
Keep up the great work detailing.

Yep I did pick up the products in their lobby. That place is dangerous to my wallet.
